Chapter 114: Suspicion
From the time Xia Yi entered the room to the time he got up to leave, he stayed for a total of two quarters of an hour. And in the past two quarters of an hour, Qin Song, the right minister of the dignified Shang Dynasty, has been hiding behind the screen in the room, which is really indecent, but it can reflect the favor of Shang Emperor Yin Tianqi to him.
Qin Song bowed his waist, walked out from behind the screen quickly, came to the front of Emperor Shang, and bowed respectfully.
Looking at this regular and sincere gift, most of the anger that Emperor Shang had received on Xia Yi before suddenly dissipated.
"Humph!"
Thinking of Xia Yi who left, Emperor Shang was unhappy in his heart. Thinking that if it weren't for seeing Xia Yi make so many contributions to the Great Shang Dynasty before, he would have already put Xia Yi in prison.
Qin Song only glanced at it, and understood the dissatisfaction in Emperor Shang's heart, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this Xia Yi is really too arrogant, even in front of Your Majesty, you dare to be so arrogant, you can imagine what kind of arrogant child he is on weekdays! ”
When Emperor Shang heard this, the anger in his heart was not eliminated, but was aroused again.
"This Xia Yi, relying on his own ability, is tolerable if he is arrogant. It's just that I didn't expect that after he lost his support and became an ordinary person, this habit has not been changed, and he really has no self-knowledge. But not everyone will pity his talent as much as I do. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Emperor Shang pulled the grapes in the fruit bowl and chewed them fiercely, as if he was chewing Xia Yi's flesh and bones.
Qin Song, the right minister, slowly stood up straight under the signal of Emperor Shang, with a look of pity on his face, and couldn't help but sigh: "People call Xia Yi 'Xia Junzi', but in fact, this 'Xia Junzi' has long been unworthy of the name." A few days ago, my eldest son and Xia Yina's sister fell in love, and our two families wanted to get married, but who knew that the 'Xia gentleman' actually used inappropriate small means to make a stumbling block from it, and ruined the good marriage between our two families in vain, which is really ...... Hey!~"
The last sigh hid countless regrets and regrets, if you don't know the inside story, you still think that Xia Yi is the one who doesn't know what to do.
Emperor Shang glanced at Qin Song lightly, pretending not to hear his explicit and implicitly derogatory words.
What is Qin Song's eldest son, Emperor Shang knows very well in his heart, and he has also known about this gossip of the Qin family and the Xia family before, and the person who understands it is his favorite daughter Yin Chuyu, so naturally there will not be too much bias towards the Qin family in that words.
In this matter, no bias is the biggest bias against Xia Yi, and Emperor Shang will naturally not be so confused as to think that the Qin family is a victim.
Therefore, Emperor Shang just glanced at Qin Song lightly, but did not take over the words, the meaning has been very obvious, he has his own opinion on Xia Yi, Qin Song had better not stuff his own private goods into it.
Qin Song, the right prime minister, has stood tall in the Great Shang Dynasty for more than ten years, and his strong ability is one thing, and his quick eyes are an important reason why he is deeply favored by the Shang Emperor. Qin Song saw that Emperor Shang was unwilling to accept this conversation, so he broke his own small abacus and stopped mentioning this matter.
Emperor Shang was not interested in the marriage of Qin Song's eldest son and Xia Yi's sister, but he was still very interested in Xia Yi himself.
Emperor Shang leaned on the cushion, slowly twisted a grape in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "You said, Xia Yi has not found a new 'martial spirit' yet, and he can cultivate to the three-grade realm, he said that he is cultivating according to his ancestral secret book, how much credibility do you think this is?"
Qin Song sat on the chair with half of his buttocks, leaned forward slightly, looking like he was listening attentively, hearing Emperor Shang's question, he pretended to be contemplative, and slowly replied after a while: "If he said that he didn't find a new 'martial spirit', the minister would have eight or nine points of confidence, and if he said that he had cultivated to the realm of the third grade according to his ancestral secret book, I would not believe it at all." ”
Emperor Shang's eyelids raised slightly, looked at Qin Song intriguingly, and said, "Oh? ”
Qin Song immediately replied: "Your Majesty also knows that when Xia Yi slaughtered all sides in the army on the edge of the town, it was when the momentum was in full swing, and we all knew that he had a very detailed understanding of him at that time, and we all knew that he was able to comprehend the realm of 'Martial Spirit Returning to One' within a year by virtue of that Heaven-level Realm Martial Spirit and his non-stop cultivation day and night, and he was called a genius by the world." At that time, the news from all sides was summarized, and there was no mention of the ancestral secret book of the Xia family, why did all of a sudden, this secret book pop up again?"
Emperor Shang recalled the information he had received at that time, and it was true, he nodded in agreement with Qin Song's analysis, but this still did not reveal the doubts in his heart.
"Then you say, how did Xia Yi cultivate to the realm of the third grade without the 'martial spirit'?" Emperor Shang changed his way and asked again.
Qin Song thought for a long time, and shook his head honestly to say that he didn't know. When he saw the displeasure that flashed in Emperor Shang's eyes, he thought about it and cautiously gave his opinion.
"Even if you admit that Xia Yi is a genius, I think there are more possibilities than the so-called 'cheats' highland!"
"Genius ......" Emperor Shang pondered, and gradually, it seemed that he also accepted this statement, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's a pity that Dashang has such a genius, but he can't be used by me, it's a pity!"
Qin Song understood that he had stumbled Xia Yi enough today, and it was too much, so he didn't say more, but just sighed with Emperor Shang and sighed a pity.
After sitting for another cup of tea, Qin Song got up and said goodbye. When he walked to the door curtain, Emperor Shang suddenly shouted Qin Song behind his back.
"Before, did you ask about Xia Yi's victory over a fourth-grade martial artist?"
Qin Song hurriedly replied, "The minister has already sent someone to inquire carefully. ”
Emperor Shang said lightly: "Tell me your opinion." ”
Qin Song returned to his previous position and began to tell the information obtained from the investigation, and finally said, "...... According to the recorded situation, the analysis believes that it is very likely that Xia Yi is holding a first-grade magic weapon, otherwise with his third-grade realm, it is almost impossible to defeat a fourth-grade martial artist holding a second-grade magic weapon. ”
"Is it a magic weapon?" Emperor Shang also guessed in his heart.
Qin Song hurriedly said yes.
"Then you say, will Xia Yi have a magic weapon that will help him cultivate?" Emperor Shang's eyes suddenly lit up.
Seeing this, Qin Song immediately surrendered his hand and said, "The minister will send someone to investigate!"
Emperor Shang nodded with satisfaction, and his mood at this time was finally better.
"At the same time, you investigate again, when did Xia Yi become a martial artist, check what important things happened during the period before he broke through the first rank martial artist, and summarize it and take it to me to see. Emperor Shang commanded again.
"Yes!"
Qin Song didn't expect that when it was time to leave, he would get such good news, and his mood was suddenly extremely comfortable, and he happily agreed.
